If you have an xbox one or PS4, get it for one of those, cause I had some issues getting it installed a few times. That being said, this game is the definition of an approachable high-action hack-and-slash kind of gameplay. I got my macbook pro in 2014, new, and (after some installation issues) it runs flawlessly, the graphics are unreal, the response time is fast, you’ll never find yourself fighting the camera, and load times are moderately short. The gamplay is fast-paced, detailed yet simple to understand, and will never leave you bored because you’re doing the same thing, as it likes to add in new methods of taking down your enemies, such as new moves, weapons, enemy approaches, and even button commands throughout the entire game, even to the end. Boss battles are the biggest highlight to this, as you approach and defeat every boss with a unique style of combat that keeps you on your toes, with the appropriate hardcore metal OST perfectly amplifying your experience. As far as being an installment of the metal gear solid series… it’s really not. It doesn’t have too intricate of a story, not many characters develop at all, kind of short, and stealth definitely takes a backseat to let action take the driver’s seat. it’s more of a little side chapter to the series, regarding story and gameplay as well. So it’s not a great metal gear solid game. But if you’re like me and judge a game apart from its predecessors, you won’t care. Overall, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not buying, or at lest taking a look at this game. It definitely doesn’t get as much praise as it deserves due to it’s relatively short story and lack of stealth. But if you want a good time nonetheless, this game will deliver.
